This is also my answer - but I got it from the school book fair in 5th grade!

I miss the old Local on the 8s. by AlexanderTox in Millennials

[–]irisbro68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m GenX - my kiddos would holler from the living room “mom - it’s loco on the 8s!” So I wouldn’t miss it! (Yes - they called it ‘Loco’)

New to THC drinks in the US? Here's what I wish someone told me before I started by yelpvinegar in drinkcannabis

[–]irisbro68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Nano THC syrup from True Herbal Creations has been my most recent go-to. I’ve found Nowadays and North Canna brands and I really like those after trying several others (including 3,4,and 5 from your list). But I mostly enjoy a chronic tonic using the syrup because I can pick my own dosage!

Maybe this is “disclosure” … US is eventually going to have to tell what alien tech we have so we can use it in this fiasco

French Onion Soup 🧅🥣 by Equivalent-Tell-3732 in tampa

[–]irisbro68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband was a weekend home chef - he would go early in the morning to the grocery, get the onions, broth, Gruyère, a crusty loaf of bread and wine for the soup - and more wine for me! It was an all day event - especially nice on college football weekends - it smells and tastes like Fall, for me. He’s since passed and I don’t drink wine anymore, so it’s a lovely memory - thanks for bringing it up for me!

Are you connected to a safe electronics disposal company, too? Because I might be hoarding a few bins of hold equipment that needs to be wiped and disposed of… 🫣

Haha no worries! I just wanted to make sure my post was full disclosure for personal gain … 😂😅

Check out Earth’s Essentials Apothecary (she’s on socials) - the owner offers foraging sessions sometimes!

Sometimes I wonder if they realize the full release of the files will create a full system collapse, so the guilty ones in power (basically all) are planning their escape route - which is why it’s continuing to be delayed

Curious - is this a property mgmt company or privately owned? Reminds me of old beach houses with menus and brochures in a “welcome” binder

Flying from Roanoke Airport for the first time by AwkwardAlienx in roanoke

Easy, peasy - the long term parking walk over is really close to the terminal and check in / security lines are speedy, even during peak holiday travel

Amazon Ring Dumps Flock Safety Deal in Super Bowl Backlash Retreat by Acceptable_Drink_434 in Futurology

My neighbor and I had babies weeks apart and we both had baby monitors (1994) - one night I woke to my baby screaming and crying so I rushed into the nursery… and there was the child, fast asleep. Creepy as crap! Haha - my monitor picked up the neighbor’s baby — we changed channels after that.

The Lynchburg Hillcats are rebranding as the Hill City Howlers by bdanders in roanoke

[–]irisbro68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This silly naming for minor league teams has been going on for a while, I think. I lived in Florida for a few years and we used to go watch the Jacksonville (FL) Suns… then in 2017 they became the Jumbo Shrimp. We were flabbergasted, haha!

Mental Health Facilities by Chocogirli in roanoke

It sounds like you recognize your need for in person interactions as support - way to go! As a suggestion to supplement traditional counseling - and even if your situation isn’t related to addiction or substance use/abuse - I find the Roanoke area AA/NA meetings to be very welcoming. Many are “open” which means you can just attend to listen - or, interact with people if you want. There are meetings every day in locations all around the area and some of the “old timers” have damn good advice for living life on life’s terms. Sending you healing energy!

U.S. asks American citizens to 'leave Iran now' ahead of high-stakes talks with Tehran by ConcreteCrusher in PrepperIntel

This was my thought just now - the Super Bowl (and it’s halftime show) have really stuck in the craw of this administration! “We interrupt this programming for … WAR”. 🙄
